Архив новостей | Русская версия
AVENGED SEVENFOLD has surprise released a new four-song EP, "Statica".
The effort, which consists of the tracks "Lights", "Statica", "Rejoice" and "Ashes", follows up the band's 2023 album "Life Is But A Dream…" and the standalone single "Magic", which dropped in December as part of Black Ops 7 Season 1 biggest seasonal content drop in "Call Of Duty" history.
The "Statica" EP has a running time of 18 minutes and 7 seconds, and sees the band breaking new musical ground by employing robotic vocals, sci-fi synths and electronic dance beats.
AVENGED SEVENFOLD has yet to publicly comment on "Statica"'s release, which was once again made available fully independently, continuing the ambition of the band's current work.
"Life Is But A Dream…" was written and recorded over the span of four years. It was produced by Joe Barresi and AVENGED SEVENFOLD in Los Angeles and mixed by Andy Wallace in the Poconos, Pennsylvania. The album is a journey through an existential crisis; a very personal exploration into the meaning, purpose and value of human existence with the anxiety of death always looming.
AVENGED SEVENFOLD and GOOD CHARLOTTE will join together this summer for a North American tour. Promoted by Live Nation, the 16-city trek will kick off July 25 in Ridgedale, Missouri, with additional stops in Shakopee, Chicago, St. Louis, Detroit, Toronto, Montreal, New York, Boston, Charlotte, Dallas, and more before wrapping August 27 at Talking Stick Resort Amphitheatre in Phoenix, Arizona.
Last September, AVENGED SEVENFOLD postponed its fall 2025 Latin American tour due to M. Shadows's vocal injury. The band was scheduled to to kick off the tour on September 25, 2025 in Buenos Aires, Argentina but ended up calling off the trek after M. Shadows was diagnosed with vocal fold hematoma, a condition where a blood vessel in the vocal cord ruptures and leaks blood under the lining of the vocal cord.
"Life Is But A Dream…" reportedly sold 36,000 equivalent album units in the U.S. in its first week of release to land at position No. 13 on the Billboard 200 chart. AVENGED SEVENFOLD's previous LP, "The Stage", debuted at No. 4 on The Billboard 200 album chart in November 2016. The surprise release of "The Stage" earned the lowest sales of an AVENGED SEVENFOLD album in eleven years. It sold 76,000 copies in its first week, less than half the tally of its previous two efforts.
